Suppose a one-dimensional isometry group acts on a space, we can consider a submergion induced by the isometry, namely we obtain an orbit space by identification of points on the orbit of the group action. We study the causal structure of…
We obtain a large class of AdS spacetimes warped with certain internal spaces in eleven-dimensional and type IIA/IIB supergravities. The warp factors depend only on the internal coordinates. These solutions arise as the near-horizon…
In three-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, there exist several realizations of N-extended supersymmetry, which are traditionally labelled by two non-negative integers p>=q such that p+q=N. Different choices of p and q, with N fixed,…
We prove the conjecture that a monopole in three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space can be completely determined by its ``holographic'' image on the conformal boundary two-sphere.
We clarify the supersymmetry structure of ADHM instanton linear sigma models, $N=4$ superconformal algebras and superconformal field theories dual to superstrings moving in $AdS_3$ backgrounds in view of some of our recent findings in…
We obtain the Killing equations and the corresponding infinitesimal isometries for the ten dimensional space generated by a large number of coincident D3-branes. In a convenient limit this space becomes an $AdS_5\times S^5$ which is…
In three dimensions, it is known that field theories possessing extended $(p,q)$ anti-de Sitter (AdS) supersymmetry with ${\cal N}=p+q \geq 3$ can be realised in (2,0) AdS superspace. Here we present a formalism to reduce every field theory…
In this paper we study supersymmetric field theories on an AdS_p x S^q space-time that preserves their full supersymmetry. This is an interesting example of supersymmetry on a non-compact curved space. The supersymmetry algebra on such a…
Atkinson [2] found a sequence of three-dimensional hyperbolic polyhedra whose dihedral angles are $\pi /3$. In this paper, we construct another sequence of such polyhedra. We also determine the volumes of some of these polyhedra.
The standard geometric description of $d$-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space is a quadric in ${\mathbb R}^{d-1,2}$ defined by $(X^0)^2 - (X^1)^2 - \dots - (X^{d-1})^2 + (X^d)^2 = \ell^2 = \text{const}$. In this paper we provide a…
By Andreev theorem acute-angled polyhedra of finite volume in a hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^{3}$ are uniquely determined by combinatorics of their 1-skeletons and dihedral angles. For a class of compact right-angled polyhedra and a class of…
We propose to embed de Sitter space into five dimensional anti-de Sitter space to compute some physical quantities of interest, using the AdS/CFT correspondence. The static de Sitter can be considered as the conformal structure of the…
2+1-dimensional Anti-deSitter gravity is quantized in the presence of an external scalar field. We find that the coupling between the scalar field and gravity is equivalently described by a perturbed conformal field theory at the boundary…
In this paper, we establish that the non-zero dihedral angles of hyperbolic Coxeter polyhedra of large dimensions are not arbitrarily small. Namely, for dimensions $n\geq 32$, they are of the form $\frac{\pi}{m}$ with $m\leq 6$. Moreover,…
In this paper, we classify all of the five-sided three-dimensional hyperbolic polyhedra with one ideal vertex, which have the shape of a triangular prism. We show how to find each such polyhedron in the upper half-space model by considering…
We propose supertwistor realisations of $(p,q)$ anti-de Sitter (AdS) superspaces in three dimensions and $\cal N$-extended AdS superspaces in four dimensions. For each superspace, we identify a two-point function that is invariant under the…
We use N=1 superspace to construct the supersymmetric matter couplings of vector and hyper multiplets in a five-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime background. For hypermultiplets, we find that AdS_5 supersymmetry requires the scalar…
There has recently been a revival of interest in anti de-Sitter space (AdS) brought about by the conjectured duality beteeen physics in the bulk of AdS and a conformal field theory on the boundary. Since the whole subject of branes,…
We show that any element of the universal Teichm\"uller space is realized by a unique minimal Lagrangian diffeomorphism from the hyperbolic plane to itself. The proof uses maximal surfaces in the 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. We show…
In our recent paper arXiv:0704.1185 [hep-th], we presented the differential geometry of five-dimensional N=1 anti-de Sitter superspace AdS^{5|8}=SU(2,2|1)/SO(4,1) x U(1) and developed the harmonic and the projective superspace settings to…
